Sharjah 24 – SPA: On the second day of Eid Al-Adha, the first day of Tashreeq, pilgrims in Mina embarked on the ritual of throwing stones at the Jamarat, which entails throwing pebbles at three pillars, starting with Jamarat Al-Oula (the small pillar), continuing with Jamarat Al-Wusta (the middle pillar) and finally Jamarat Al-Aqaba (the large pillar), following in the footsteps of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
Multiple pathways were designated across the various floors of the Jamarat facility to ensure a smooth flow of pilgrims and manage the crowd. This innovative, multi-level structure was engineered to distribute pilgrims efficiently during the throwing ritual.

Pedestrian bridges connect the Jamarat to the Al-Mashaaer Al-Mugaddassah Metro Line and surrounding pilgrim camps in Mina, facilitating safe and convenient movement.
